Interesting week of work experience for Ben

I HAVE just embarked on a week of work experience with the Stawell Times News and I absolutely loved it.

I have enjoyed all the tasks I have undertaken, whether it was taking photos with Kerri Kingston or doing the footy tips for the week.

All the stories I wrote, whether I was just re-typing contributed press releases, or coming up with my own ideas, it was enjoyable and satisfying.

Some of the stories I have covered include businesses being affected by the cold weather, information about upcoming activities and competitions at the Stawell Leisure Centre and the Stawell Library, the 'Our Neighbourhood Trust Fund' and many more.

All the staff here have been terrific. They have all been friendly and supportive no matter the situation.

I feel very appreciative of my opportunity to work at the Stawell Times News and I will look back fondly on this past week of work experience and use the experiences I learned later in life.
